AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Constitutional Change in Government House: Sir Cyril Errol Melchiades Charles demitted office as Saint Lucia’s Governor-General on July 31, and Felix Finisterre was appointed Acting Governor-General effective August 1, following Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre’s advice—an important continuity moment for the island’s constitutional leadership. New Social Protection Push: Saint Lucia officially launched its EC$1,000 Newborn Grant Programme, effective August 1, for babies born on/after that date, with birth registration required within six months—aimed at easing early costs and encouraging timely registration. Emancipation Day, CARICOM and Reparations: Pierre, as CARICOM Chair, used Emancipation Day to press for economic freedom and reparatory justice, tying the region’s unfinished emancipation to wealth creation, opportunity, and international action. Youth and Regional Cooperation: The Commonwealth Youth Ministers Task Force endorsed a new three-year framework to advance youth leadership, skills, entrepreneurship and digital inclusion across member states. Health in the Spotlight (CPL): The Republic Bank CPL is rolling out free health screenings at all eight host venues, including in Saint Lucia, targeting non-communicable diseases with checks like blood pressure, glucose, BMI, urinalysis and PSA testing. Regional Security & Youth Engagement: Saint Lucia youths are set to join the Regional Police Summer Programme, expanding youth conflict-resolution and crime-prevention efforts across the Eastern Caribbean. Fuel Prices Held Steady: Saint Lucia kept retail fuel and LPG prices unchanged for Aug 3–Aug 23 despite higher global crude, using subsidies and the modified pass-through mechanism to cushion households and businesses.
